A gaseous pixel readout module with four GridPix chips, called the quad, has been developed as a building block for a large time projection chamber readout plane. The quad module has dimensions 39.6 mm $\times$ 28.38 mm and an active surface coverage of 68.9%. The GridPix chip consists of a Timepix3 chip with integrated amplification grid and have a high efficiency to detect single ionisation electrons, which enable to make a precise track position measurement. A quad module was installed in a small time projection chamber and measurements of 2.5 GeV electrons were performed at the ELSA accelerator in Bonn, where a silicon telescope was used to provide a reference track. The error on the track position measurement, both in the pixel plane and drift direction, is dominated by diffusion. The quad was designed to have minimum electrical field inhomogeneities and distortions, achieving systematics of better than 13 $μ$m in the pixel plane. The resolution of the setup is 41 $μ$m, where the total systematic error of the quad detector is 24 $μ$m.
Results from a Prototype Combination TPC Cherenkov Detector with GEM Readout
组合时间投影室-切伦科夫原型探测器已被开发作为未来电子离子对撞机探测器研发计划的一部分。该原型在费米实验室试验束设施进行了测试,以提供原理证明,证明该探测器能够测量粒子轨迹,并在一个共同的探测器体积内提供粒子识别信息。TPC部分由一个10 x10 x10 cm 3的场笼组成,它将电荷从磁道传递到10 x10 cm 2的四重GEM读出器。通过在2x 10 mm 2锯齿形焊盘阵列上插入簇的命中位置来重建磁道。切伦科夫组件由分割成3x 3正方形焊盘的10 x10 cm 2读出平面组成,也耦合到四重GEM。当径迹穿过TPC的漂移体积时,所产生的切伦科夫光能够通过构成场笼一侧的稀疏排列的导线逃逸,面对切伦科夫探测器的CsI光阴极。切伦科夫检测器因此在无窗、接近聚焦配置中操作以获得高效率。纯CF 4用作两个检测器组件的工作气体,主要是由于其对深紫外线的透明度以及其高N 0。从光束测试的结果,以及其粒子ID能力的结果将进行讨论。
